Never seen the lyrics printed out before. How much money did that bring them?

Looking for the lyrics, I found this:
“Wooly Bully” was the band’s first and biggest hit. It became a worldwide success, selling three million copies and reaching No. 2 on the American Hot 100 chart on June 5–12, 1965, kept off the top by The Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda”[3] and The Supremes’ “Back in My Arms Again”.[4] It was the first American record to sell a million copies during the British Invasion ...

Being easily amused, I read the whole thing, and enjoyed it!!!

Probably not much. My uncle was an attorney for many of the phantom labels in the Sam Phillips' recording world in Memphis. Dear old Uncle was a sheister's sheister, yet even he was embarrassed at how the artists were sucked dry by layers and layers of production and management fees.
